Start simple with this reply. Positive + to positive, and Negative- to negative ONLY..... NOW for the next part. If you can't get your tractor started then you need to find out if it is a junky battery, garbage cables, loose connections, corrosion, ETC. ASSUME NOTHING. Keep looking till you find something. Most of the guys have said to leave it 6 volt and I would agree. The last thing I will harp on. When you hook up just plain old jumper cables, hook them to the supply first. The two other clips are now in your hands. Hook the first cable to the wire that goes to your starter. LAstly, the. "Ground or frame" cable hooks to a big old bolt or frame member , just anywhere that is at least several feet away from the deader battery. You. Must realize that when a battery charges it makes hydrogen gas. H2O gets split in half. Two hydrogen and one oxygen. Just think of the Hindenburg. I am not busting on ya but I have seen the aftermath of battery explosions. Sulfuric acid is the worst stuff most of us will ever mess with. Personally.......I fill a 5 gallon clean bucket with tepid water and pour a mess of baking soda in it. Now if you get any acid on you, your tools, you beauty of a tractor, what ever, splash that mix all over you and FAST! If all went well, you can wash everything down with 5hat bucket of mix. It will neutralize any acid anywhere, even the stuff you don't know about, and then take a hose and rinse it off This was the super duper how to do seminar you would read in a HazMat book. Please look at these pictures.

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
